In all seriously, I don't think the question is "will we get a Direct, this month," I think it's "WHEN will we get a Direct, this month?" And my bets are on February 14th, because I'm OCD, and expect Nintendo to end the "EAR OB RUIGI" on the same day of the year in which it started. I also expect this month's Direct to be about the "'Ear ob Yoshi." Because we need more Yoshi in our lives!

I COME UPON THEE WITH RIGHTEOUS FURY FROM THAT OF THE SMASH FANDOM! ILLOGICAL STATEMENTS SHALT BE MET WITH ALL OF MINE RAGE... until I do something else. No sense in being grumpy.

Sigh, unless one pops up for tomorrow, I doubt we'll get one this week...

Avian fact of the week: The Moa, an extinct relative of ostrichs and emus that inhabited New Zealand, was the tallest bird that ever lived at 12 ft tall (3.6 m). It was also the only known bird to have no wing structure.

I don't know really...we just got the poke bank, 2 release dates on upcoming games, news about eshop games... So honestly, in my thoughts, it's pretty doubtful. Although, I could be proven wrong. Because all the should've been in a direct...right?

Well.. Nintendo usually has Directs before big releases to showcase their games one last time before they hit the shelves. I was kind of thinking Friday would be the perfect day because Bravely Default is being released in NA and DK:TF is out in a couple weeks. I have no clue what they're thinking though. Last year they had a Direct on Valentines day.. so maybe next friday? I'd be surprised if one doesn't come this month.. then again, we didn't get one last month so who knows what they're doing.

Seriously though if they do one, i'd like to see rock solid release dates for their first DS titles on the Wii U VC.
If it can't be third party games yet it could be smart to release something alongside New Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass since these are not exactly highly regarded by gaming gourmets. Pretty much everything else should work though.
The more diverse the lineup the stronger it speaks for the service. Especially if you could play Mario Kart DS and Planet Puzzle League online from the get-go.

I can't see Nintendo passing up the opportunity to give their next big AAA title (Tropical Freeze) one last hype boost before release, so realistically there should be one next week.
